Mossy Head School, is possibly the best school I have seen. My daughter has been going for 3 years. Since Pre kindergarten. The teachers are very excited to teach. My daughter loves going to school every day. The school has rules, and the kids follow them! I never see kids running in the halls. Instead the following in lines! During pickup, not chaos like I expected instead the kids come out and sit patiently for parents to come get them. Sure they are talking and laughing and having a good time but there is structure. The school is also kind of hidden. Can't see from hwy 90.
